Lines: 50 Message-ID: <3um5lm$5tr@legba.synergy.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: gatekeeper.cso.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I've been trying to set up a Freebsd 2.0R machine to act both as a PPP client and server. It is a client to our ISP to provide Internet connectivity. This is working fine and uses ppp0. I am now trying to configure it to act as a PPP server for incoming PPP clients. I am currently using the dial-up PPP link that is included in Windows 95 (btw, I've used this successfully to connect to the ISP directly so I know it works). I have the incoming connection configured in /etc/ttys as follows: ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty t19200" vt100 on secure After logging in the following shell script is run: #! /bin/csh -f /usr/sbin/pppd file /etc/ppp/options.pppin The options.pppin file contains the following information: crtscts # enable hardware flow control modem # modem control line passive domain cso.com ppplocal:pppremote netmask 255.255.255.240 -detach #lcp-echo-interval 60 #lcp-echo-failure 2 The ip-up file exits if the tty is not equal to /dev/ttyd3. I am able to connect and start PPP. I can ping sites on the Internet and start to use a WEB browser, however, after several minutes the machine drops the route to the PPP client. Here is the information the shows up in the messages file: Jul 15 01:57:44 gatekeeper pppd[6901]: pppd 2.1.2 started by ppplogin, uid 32766 Jul 15 01:57:44 gatekeeper pppd[6901]: Connect: ppp1 <--> /dev/ttyd0 Jul 15 01:57:47 gatekeeper pppd[6901]: input: Unknown protocol (80fd) received!
